Baseball is not the easiest but the most possible you can look at teams like royals and Astros for example

NBA has to be the toughest, the league is built on superstars and parody is tough for the small market teams minus the spurs
 
I'd say football. U can turn a basketball team around with 1 great player. Baseball has no salary cap so if your owner wants to spend you can become great overnight in free agency. But football you can't win with only a couple great players and there's a cap on how much money I can just throw at players
 
Basketball easily, right now there's only 4 teams with a realistic chance of winning it all, to get to that level is the hardest out of all the sports
 
football... easily...

baseball you can change shyt with a player or two and good pitching...

basketball the "stars" honestly can make themselves.. not saying its easy but look at jimmy butler... pozingis( not saying he is a "star" yet but he has surprised people..) steph curry... ect..

football everything has to "go right" and honestly you might not even know the problem.. and things change so much every year because of inpatients... people will change quarterbacks yet the offensive coordinator sucks.... they will fire the head coach even though he has only been on the job 2 years... they will put a rookie quarterback in the line of fire say he sucks and draft another the next year.. see how that will get you nowhere?

I Dont agree because you have probaly the highest pool of mentaly tough athletes and people willing to get better

unlike basketball where niggas fall off overnight
 
So many teams go from last place in their divison to first place.

It's a reason why so many different teams make the playoffs each year.

its usually "middle tier" teams that do this...

when has the rams.... jaguars.... browns... tampa bay...ect been in the playoffs? those teams are bottom of the barrel ( rams more lower middle tier but still) teams.. all havent been in the playoffs at least 10 years.. how is that dumb?

now take teams like the ravens... redskins... cowboys... vikings... chiefs ect... those are middle tier teams that can have "off seasons" but are right back at it next year...

 
I couldn't say...it's so much incompetence across all the leagues

You would think some of these teams being paid to stay bad

I'm a Jaguars fan and I saw Del Rio and the GM were fucking that team up 2 years in...

Blazers fan, we traded for fucking Afflalo when we had youngins on the squad who were better for us than his Wack ass...one of those youngins was Will Barton...so we basically gave him away

We got peanut butter shit sandwiches for Batum who done turned up in Charlotte (wasn't against moving him but what'd we get)

And lol at Jags not being in for 10 years, watch your fucking mouth...and then prop up your(lmaoo I meant LA's) Rams who've been irrelevant since 04
 
Once the playoffs start in the NFL. Anybody can win

The Giants won two super bowls and didn't even make it the playoffs the year before they won it. And they won it as a the last seed.

Same thing Pitt did.

Washington went from worst to first this year.

Dallas went from 1st to last.

San Fran went from the bottom to 3 straight NFCCGs and right back to the bottom

Any given Sunday
 
Basketball is the hardest! Once you have a superstar. You spend everything you have to keep them around. Without them you are screwed. Detroit with Larry Brown as their coach was the last team to really accomplish winning a championship without a bonafide superstar outside of Rasheed Wallace.

I could see football being the hardest. You have to hit on a lot of your picks, and 2 or 3 players aren't going to carry you the way they will in basketball. If you get a good QB, you need to draft good OL to block for him. And if they block, you need to have receivers that can catch the ball. Then you need to have a good defense to stop the other team from scoring. Then add in the fact that the careers of football players are short, so you need to continue to make good pick ups, because players are constantly leaving.

Basketball and baseball teams can be carried by less players than a football team, the players have longer careers, and (IMO) coaching is more important in football than it is in those sports.
 
I can't believe people are really saying football in the parity, salary cap era. Every year there's teams that are successful out of nowhere. Shizlansky was right, Any Given Sunday, look at those Giants squads. Okay yeah its a huge roster and a hard cap, but only highly dysfunctional organizations like the Browns seem to be ALWAYS putting awful teams out there. That says something imho.

Basketball you need The Guy to win a title ofc but its easy to make the playoffs if you actually want to.

Baseball imho is the hardest because of the whole minor league/farm system dynamic. It just moves in slow motion compared to the others. In football and basketball, there's a draft that can change your fortunes pretty much overnight if you get lucky enough. That's IMPOSSIBLE in baseball, when you draft somebody you gotta wait like 4 years before they're even ready to be a Rookie on a major league field. Hell, look at the Phillies. Their old GM made a bunch of flashy trade moves for elite talent, but depleted the farm system in doing so. Now they gotta spend YEARS in the desert while they re-stock the cupboard and hope the new farm talent develops into something. Shit's brutal.
